We follow both the Tamil seasons and the Gregorian calendar to discover the seasonal produce harvested and distributed in Auroville.
Summer
இளவேனில் | Ila-venil
from mid-April to mid-June
includes the months:
mid-April to mid-May | சித்திரை | Chittirai
& mid-May to mid-June | வைகாசி | Vaikāsi
As the heat increases, we can enjoy an abundance of fruits. It is an invitation to adapt our diets to the seasonal harvest. The dry and sunny season also provides an opportunity to sun-dry produce for preservation.
